Bryanj:
Exactly what bike is this, 500 only has 1 seal in clutch cover

No, I haven't answered the question about the seals as I can't remember ☺️☺️. I also have the strainers in stock if yours doesn't clean up OK or is knackered.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
It's interesting that quite a few parts that seemed unavailable only a couple of years back are now being produced again, either that or I didn't look hard enough. That seems to be true for 400 & 500 parts.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Going back to the clutch casing oil seals my 500 had one for the  gear shaft, the second one was on the end of the clutch mechanism. The seal on the alloy section is I believe to keep water etc out of the coarse threaded actuator part. I managed to break mine when removing the seal that fits on the outside by being clumsy. Ash kindly sent me a replacement part.
I know the clutch mechanism was improved so your 550 might be different.

Bryanj:
550 is completely different Ted, the operating mechanism is all in the clutch cover and only a very short pushrod, which is why i asked exactly which bike it was
